Meta Description Generator

Meta Description Generator measures a description you have written against the width Google really gives it, and says whether it fits, exactly where it would be cut, and whether your focus keyword is in it.

The text is measured in pixels rather than characters, because wide letters fill the box faster than narrow ones — 990px on desktop, 1300px on mobile — and the result shows the truncated string a searcher would see, with the overflow stated in pixels. A focus keyword is matched on word boundaries, so "rate" is not counted as a hit inside "rated". A description well under 60 per cent of the container is called short rather than correct, and the caveat is printed with the verdict: Google rewrites descriptions for a large share of queries however well yours fits.

The measurement runs in the page against a built-in font metric table with no network call, so draft copy written for a client is not transmitted while you tune it.

Trimming a description that is being cut in search results, confirming a rewrite still carries the target phrase, writing descriptions for a batch of pages against one consistent limit, and settling whether a long description is genuinely too long.
